Volatility shakes up the Top 10

The crypto casino world has shown the kind of volatility we expect from the crypto market this month, with a number of key players gaining and dropping big numbers.

The top 10 crypto casinos received $2,666,200,000 in deposits in February, a slight dip on the record-breaking $2,702,100,000 in deposits highlighted in our January report.. But with February being a short month, this actually marks a small increase month on month when worked out on a daily basis! The growth comes despite significant uncertainty in the crypto market, including the biggest crypto hack of all time, the Bybit hack, that hit Bitcoin’s value and market confidence overall.

There’s a lot more to dissect with the leading casinos themselves.

Top 5 Crypto Casinos for February 2025

1. Stake

Stake continues to go from strength-to-strength, with a 13% boost in its market share to 48.55%. That’s almost half the crypto casino market, and its deposits rose to $1.3 billion for February, a solid 8.33% increase over January. The world’s biggest crypto casino increased its depositor numbers to 977,800, a 16.16% increase, while the new depositor numbers shot up by 93.35% to 133,800.

A lot of those new bettors will have come via the Apple store, as Stake launched its ‘Stake: Real Money Casino’ app this month. It is number 2 in the casino section on the app store already and a massive success, with Appfigures estimating more than 110,000 downloads.

Like many other operators, Stake started taking bets in Brazil this past month and that is a new battleground and a potentially huge market. It has also taken steps to improve accessibility globally. It has partnered with Opay, which is a popular payment processor in Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt and South Africa.

At the end of month, though, Stake withdrew from the highly-lucrative UK market after the UK Gambling Commission launched an investigation into its advertising practices. That could have an impact on next month’s profits, although Stake is growing at such a rate that losing the UK market may just be a speed bump.

In totally separate news, the StakeUS sweepstakes casino is a smash hit. It has increased its market share to 2.55%, deposit amounts have jumped 29.89% to $70,400,000 and it had 123,700 depositors in February – an 18.03% jump.

2. Yolo Group

It was a painful month for Yolo Group, which saw its market share dip from 18.44% to 14.54% and its total deposits drop by 19.94% to $401,500,000. The number of depositors dropped by 19.87% to 12,500 and there were just 1,100 new depositors in February.

That’s a 30% drop, but beyond that the numbers show that new client acquisition is proving a serious challenge for Yolo Group, with just 1,400 new depositors in January.

This month’s sudden drop could be down to issues with the company’s whale.io brand leaving Telegram. Yolo Group framed this as a strategic decision based on Telegram’s changing privacy policies, and the need for more control over the app. But there are rumors this departure wasn’t entirely voluntary.

3. Roobet

Roobet’s market share dropped from 11.9% to 10.28%, its deposits dropped 12.3% from $323,700,000 to $283,800,000 and yet it added 35.94% more depositors to hit 152,800 players. So there were lots more small deposits, and Roobet added 46.59% more new depositors as well, with 25,800 vs 17,600 in January.

That’s a direct result of the new promotional strategy, including 20% cashback on slot losses tied to $5-10 minimum deposits. That brought the low risk bettors out to play.

We predicted Roobet could run into some issues this month due to the fallout from the changes to its Anti-Money Laundering policy in January. This introduced a new level of KYC for customers depositing more than $2000 in a month, or withdrawing $2000 wins, and that has had an impact.

4. Shuffle

This crypto-first casino was one of the few that kept the ship steady in February, with $178,700,000 in deposits – just 0.06% down on January. That came from 189,500 depositors, which is a 19.63% increase over January, and Shuffle added 9,900 new depositors in February – a 15.12% increase.

Shuffle has focused on community engagement this month, with a $50,000 leaderboard and $150 giveaways, as well as a $5000 prize pool for Dragon Hunt on Aztec Clusters and several other prize pools during the course of the month.

5. BC.Game

After a turbulent time with licensing, BC.Game’s coin price hit an all-time low in January. We predicted a comeback with the new Anjouan license and a series of aggressive promotions, and this month showed spectacular growth in terms of depositors, and a slight boost with the actual amounts deposited.

BC.Game took $176,600,000 in deposits in February, a 2.08% increase, but the big news came with the number of depositors – a 55.54% increase to 248,400. Of those, 44,200 were new depositors and that is a 119.9% increase. BC.Game is second only to Stake when it comes to new customer acquisition at the moment.

A huge airdrop of 400 million BC tokens did have an influence on those numbers, as did the Vault Pro staking system that offers 10% interest on staked BC tokens.

Movers and Shakers

There are two casinos making waves in the support crew this month: Rainbet and Solcasino.

Rainbet only launched in November 2024 and is making a serious impact on the leaderboards in a short space of time. It comes with an attractive sign-up bonus that gives up to $2100 in bonus funds with a series of three deposit match bonuses, a series of weekly races and giveaways and more. 

From nowhere, Rainbet has taken a 0.41% market share, which is an incredible start. With $11,300,000 in deposit and 62,700 depositors, Rainbet is making a major impression and has started influencer marketing with the likes of Bradley Martin.

Solcasino has made great strides this month, thanks to an escalating series of deposit match bonuses that give 180% on the first deposit, 240% on the second and 300% on the third and fourth. The casino is also doing $1.5 million a month in cash drops, free entries to weekly $10,000 raffles for anyone wagering $500, $1.5 million poker tournaments and more. 

That’s working, and Solcasino has boosted its deposits by 20% to $6,000,000, its depositors by 44.49% to 41,900 and its new depositors by 9.66% to 3,400.

 

The Biggest Coins in Crypto Casinos

2 ETH 13.31% $367.5M 417.7K $879.9
3 TRX 11.49% $317.3M 350.2K $906.1
4 SOL 10.53% $290.8M 520.9K $558.2
5 USDC 6.92% $191.1M 76.0K $2.5K

9 WBTC 0.04% $1.0M 790 $1.3K
10 OTHER 0.11% $2.9M 5.0K $592.6

When it comes to the tokens, Tether (USDT) continues to dominate the charts with a 56.82% overall ‘market share’ and $1.6 billion in deposits. An average deposit of $2,400 dwarfs the competition and shows that big gamblers like the stability and lack of price slippage that goes with the world’s biggest stablecoin.

Ethereum reclaimed the second spot in the standings with a deposit volume of $367.5 million and 417,700 deposits that average out at $879.90. Tron was on a charge, fuelled by the token’s success on the open market. In December 2024, TRX reached an all-time high of $0.44, but this month it slipped to $0.24 – a 45% decline in value. That has had a knock-on effect on the crypto gambling market and Tron has lost its sheen.
